Official Information Act Responses
Hawke's Bay District Health Board publishes responses to Official Information Act (OIA) requests, and supports the open disclosure of information to assist the public’s understanding of how the DHB is delivering publicly-funded health care.
This includes the proactive publication of Official Information Act (the Act) responses on our website. Requester identities are removed (redacted under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA) from the published versions to protect the privacy of the requester.
Official information responses of interest to the wider public and suitable for publication are available here.
Note: Due to the health response to COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020, OIAs had extended time frames for completion, as allowed for under section 15A(4) the Act.
